When's the last time you had your cabin air filter changed? If you have to ponder on this question for too long, the answer is probably too long. The cabin air filter does more than keep dirt and dust out of the air you breathe. They block out harmful bacteria and other irritants, like pollen. With spring finally, here you should consider changing your cabin air filter.
Here's why:
POLLUTION CAN ENTER YOUR VEHICLE
You shouldn't forget that your car emits harmful exhaust every time you drive. Once these gases get released, they can make their way back into the cabin's circulation system. It can be harmful to you and your passengers to inhale this.
ENGINE STRAIN
When your air filter is clogged, it can make your HVAC system work way harder than it needs to. As a result, it can decrease your fuel efficiency.
ALLERGIES CAN WORSEN
